KNOWN_BUGS: remove five FTP related issues
- "FTP with CONNECT and slow server"

I believe this is not a problem these days.

- "FTP with NULs in URL parts"

The FTP protocol does not support them properly anyway.

- remove "FTP and empty path parts in the URL"

I don't think this has ever been reported as a real problem but was only
a hypothetical one.

- "Premature transfer end but healthy control channel"

This is not a bug, this is an optimization that *could* be performed but is
not an actual problem.

- "FTP without or slow 220 response"

Instead add to the documentation of the connect timeout that the
connection is considered complete at TCP/TLS/QUIC layer.

tool_operate: override the numeric locale and set "C" by force
Makes curl always use dot as decimal separator for options,
independently of what the locale says. Makes scripts and command lines
portable.

Updated docs accordingly.

curl: add --url-query
This option adds a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the
end of the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for
--data-urlencode with one extension:

If the argument starts with a '+' (plus), the rest of the string is
provided as-is unencoded.

This allows users to "build" query parts with options and URL encoding
even when not doing GET requests, which the already provided option -G
(--get) is limited to.

This idea was born in a Twitter thread.

gen.pl: do not generate CURLHELP bitmask lines > 79 characters
If a command line option is in many help categories, there is a risk
that CURLHELP bitmask source lines generated for listhelp are longer
than 79 characters.

This change takes care of folding such long lines.

cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:

 - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
 - append: it supports being provided multiple times
 - boolean: on/off values
 - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag

The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.

The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.

lib: sanitize conditional exclusion around MIME
The introduction of CURL_DISABLE_MIME came with some additional bugs:
- Disabled MIME is compiled-in anyway if SMTP and/or IMAP is enabled.
- CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are
  conditioned on HTTP, although also needed for SMTP and IMAP MIME mail
  uploads.

In addition, the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and --header documentation does not
mention their use for MIME mail.

This commit fixes the problems above.

NPN: remove support for and use of
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.

curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.

HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.

Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.

docs/cmdline-opts: fix example and categories for --form-escape
The example was missing a "--form" argument
I also replaced "--form" with "-F" to shorten the line a bit since it
was already very long.

And I also moved --form-escape from the "post" category to the "upload"
category (this is what I originally wanted to fix, before also noticing
the mistake in the example).

docs: add dns category to --resolve
This commit adds the dns category to the --resolve command line option,
because it can be interpreted as both: a low-level connection option and
an option related to the resolving of a hostname.

It is also not common for dns options to belong to the connection
category and vice versa.  --ipv4 and --ipv6 are both good examples.

92179353e5 cmdline-opts/gen.pl: improve performance
On some systems, the gen.pl script takes nearly two minutes for the
generation of the main-page, which is a completely unacceptable time.

The slow performance has two causes:
1. Use of a regex locale operator
2. Useless invokations of loops

The commit addresses the first issue by replacing the "\W" wiht
[^a-zA-Z0-9_], which is, according to regex101.com, functionally
equivalent to the previous operation, except that it is obviously
limited to ASCII only, which is fine, as the curl project is
English-only anyway.

The second issue is being addressed by only running the loop if the line
contains a "--" in it. The loop may be completeley removed in the
future.

max-time.d: clarify max-time sets max transfer time
Prior to this change the doc said --max-time set the maximum time of the
'whole operation' which is not accurate. The option maps to
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS which sets maximum transfer time.

For example, the maximum time on a transfer is reset if the transfer is
retried (--retry).

because they expect the private key to already be available from the
keystore or P12 certificate.
